I really can’t understand why Citi and AA continue to gut the American Airlines credit cards.
For a while, one of the best reasons to hold one of the cards was the annual mileage rebate. With that perk, you would get back 10% of your award redemptions, up to 10,000 miles a year. It was a great perk.
The other great perk (don’t get me wrong, the included free checked bags and priority boarding may still make the cards worthwhile for you) is the Reduced Mileage Awards.
These allow you to save up to 7,500 miles on round trip sAAver awards by flying to or from select airports that change each month (used to be quarterly).
Sure, you have to call to book them, but many love them.
Dans Deal reported today that they will end on October 1st. AA is saying that you can instead book the Web Specials but, of course, anyone can…
